# std::atomic_ref<T>::fetch_and

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | atomic‎ | atomic ref

Provided only when `T` is an integral type other than cv bool |  |
value_type fetch_and( value_type arg, std::memory_order order = std::memory_order_seq_cst ) const noexcept; |  | (since C++20)

Atomically replaces the current value of the referenced object with the result of bitwise AND of the value and arg. This operation is a read-modify-write operation. Memory is affected according to the value of order.

This overload participates in overload resolution only if std::is_const_v<T> is false.

### Parameters

arg | - | the other argument of bitwise AND
order | - | memory order constraints to enforce

### Return value

The value of the referenced object, immediately preceding the effects of this function.

### Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR | Applied to | Behavior as published | Correct behavior

LWG 3508 (P3323R1) | C++20 | `fetch_and` was meaningless for const T | constrained to accept only non-const `T`
